<pre wrap="">Hello, Paul.
I do. I have a Vixen SXD, Starbook controller, V2.1. I do not, however, have a Windows machine. As far as I know, you require a Windows machine to operate the system for updates. I have to borrow one at my friend's home. Otherwise, the Starbook is self sustaining.
What do you need?

I will need you to be able to connect your Mac to the Star Book. It uses Ethernet, so either you'll need to connect directly from your Mac to the Star Book using a standard Ethernet cable, or connect your Star Book to your router or hub so that it's on the same local network as your Mac is.
Then connecting to it will be that same as any other telescope mount driver: select the Star Book mount, set up the IP address of the Star Book if it's different from the default, and it should then (in theory) behave the same as any other computerised mount.
Of course, you'll need to wait for the Star Book driver to be implemented, but I suspect it will be fairly easy.
